It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the end of our support for Asheron's Call and Asheron’s Call 2, and will close both services on January 31st, 2017.

This decision did not come easy, and we know this is disappointing for many of you. This game is a labor of love, and it's not easy for us to bring it to an end.

We have had a phenomenally long run; one of the longest in the world of MMORPGs, and that in and of itself is a spectacular feat. We are proud of our legacy, and the entire Asheron's Call team has been honored to adventure with you for nearly twenty years. We thank you very much for being a part of it.

It’s been an amazing run. You’ve done Asheron Realaidain proud.

Between now and January 31st, 2017, the game will remain available to play, completely free, for any player currently with an account. New account creation will be disabled.

I got bored a few months ago and Aluviah Fireheart talked me into playing AC again. The Darktide server got nuked so we played around on one of the white servers. Actually ran into a few old DT people, WillofStone, Manipulator, Shalifa (always caught Manip and Shalifa afk) and some other random antis from back in the day. Oh well, was fun while it lasted.

Holy crap, I just came back to see if my old Darktide guild was still around after hearing that they finally shutdown the Asheron servers. Can't believe all you folks are still here. Not sure if anyone will remember, but I was Legend - original gimpy character, my main ended up being an OG Mage Black Ice.

My claim to fame was that I was the first buff bot for the clan when we got our first mansion.

Sad to hear, but it deserved to retire. It lasted 18 years... That is quite some age for an MMO

I just wish, they would have taken the whole AC 1 source-history and just re-released it with revamped graphics and leaving all those necessary bugs that made it so great. AC2 was a bad try to go mainstream
